Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hydraulic power steering system for motor vehicles with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Hydraulic power steering systems with a reaction arrangement are known from the prior art, for example from DE 196 16 439 Cl.
- this steering reaction bodies are in the form of balls in V-shaped grooves, which are open to the outside in the radial direction of the rotary valve.
- the reaction bodies rest on both groove flanks when the rotary slide valve is in the center position without force. If the rotary slide valve is deflected against the spring force of the torsion bar, the balls will only rest on one flank of the V-shaped grooves.
- the balls are pressurized from the outside with hydraulic pressure and pushed into the grooves, so that together with the inclined groove flank against which they rest, a restoring moment in the direction of the force-free central position of the Valve act.
- the steering of the motor vehicle thereby generates a higher hand torque on the steering wheel and therefore feels more direct.
- This steering is only intended and set up to generate restoring torques in the direction of the central position of the rotary slide valve.
- At least one first reaction body and at least one second reaction body are aligned with the reaction grooves assigned to them in such a way that an application of hydraulic pressure at least in the middle position and the middle position of the valve in an adjacent position in the first reaction body produces torque in a first direction of rotation and in the second reaction body If a torque is generated in a second direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation, the centering of the steering can be generated by simultaneous pressurization of both reaction bodies and a steering torque in a specific direction can be generated by one-sided pressurization of a reaction body.
- Figure 1 a rotary slide valve of a power steering system according to the invention in a cross section from the side;
- FIG. 2 the rotary slide valve according to FIG. 1 in a cross section in the radial direction along the line II-II from FIG. 1;
- Figure 3 the area III of Figure 2 in an enlarged fragmentary representation
- FIG. 4 a hydraulic circuit diagram for a power steering system according to the invention with a servo valve with an open center;
- Figure 5 a circuit diagram corresponding to Figure 4 in a simpler embodiment
- FIG. 6 a circuit diagram for a servo valve with a closed center; such as
- Figure 7 a hydraulic circuit diagram for a power steering system according to the invention with a servo valve with an open center and electromechanical pressure reducing valves.
- the rotary slide valve 1 shows a rotary slide valve 1 of a power steering system according to the invention in a cross section from the side.
- the rotary slide valve 1 has a rotary slide 2, which is to be connected in the region of a toothing (on the left in FIG. 1) to a steering column and a steering wheel of a motor vehicle.
- a torsion bar 3 In the interior of the rotary valve 2 there is a torsion bar 3, which is pinned to the rotary valve 2 in the area of the teeth.
- the rotary slide valve 1 has a pinion 4, which meshes with a power steering rack, not shown, in operation.
- the torsion bar 3 is also non-rotatably pinned at its end 5 to the pinion 4, so that the rotary slide 2 and the pinion 4 can be rotated against one another against the torsional spring force of the torsion bar 3.
- the rotary valve 2 is rotatably mounted for this purpose.
- a mechanical stop 6 limits the possible relative angle of rotation.
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to a servo motor in a manner known per se via control grooves 8 and a control sleeve 9, which need not be described further.
- the rotary valve 2 also carries a number of reaction grooves 10, which are open radially outwards and which are approximately V-shaped in cross section.
- a sleeve 11 connected to the pinion 4 surrounds the rotary slide valve 2 in the area of the reaction grooves 10.
- the sleeve 11 has a number of bores 12, in each of which a reaction body 13, 14 is inserted.
- the reaction bodies 13 and 14 are balls which are forced into the reaction grooves 10 when a force is exerted radially from the outside.
- control sleeve 9 and the sleeve 11 are rotatably mounted in an outer valve housing, which is not shown here.
- Circumferential seals 15 separate the set of reaction bodies 13 on the left in FIG. 1 from the set of reaction bodies 14 on the right in FIG. 1, in which the outer spaces defined together with the housing (not shown) are separated from one another.
- reaction bodies 13 and 14 can be subjected to hydraulic pressure, which then forces the reaction bodies 13 and 14 into the reaction grooves 10.
- 2 shows a cross section through the rotary slide valve of FIG. 1 along the line II-II.
- the cross section shows the torsion bar 3 in a region of small thickness, which acts as a torsion spring in operation.
- the torsion bar 3 is surrounded by the area of the rotary valve 2 provided with reaction grooves 10.
- a total of six reaction grooves 10 are provided which extend in the direction parallel to the axis.
- a reaction body 14, 14 ′ is located in each of the reaction grooves 10. While the reaction bodies 14 and 14 'are distributed over the circumference of the rotary slide valve at a constant angular distance of 60 degrees, the corresponding reaction grooves 10 on the one hand and 10' on the other hand are offset from one another.
- FIG. 3 represents an enlarged section from FIG. 2.
- FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show the middle position of the rotary slide valve 1, in which the torsion bar 3 is free of forces.
- the reaction body 14 lies symmetrically in the reaction groove 10 and simultaneously touches the rotary slide 2 at two points on the groove flanks, which are identified by 20 in FIG.
- the reaction body 14 is acted upon in the radial direction by hydraulic pressure, therefore, in this position of the rotary slide valve 1, there is no torque that is exerted on the rotary slide valve 2.
- the reaction groove 10 ' which is shown on the right in FIG. 3, is not aligned symmetrically to the reaction body 14' in the middle position of the rotary slide valve shown.
- the reaction body 14 ' bears against a contact point 20' on the surface of the reaction groove 10 '.
- Two reaction bodies 13 are provided which are centered in the corresponding grooves 10 in the middle position.
- hydraulic pressure is applied in the radial direction, this results in a torque in the clockwise direction, the magnitude of which is as large as the torque generated by the reaction bodies 14 '.
- FIG. 4 shows a hydraulic circuit diagram for a power steering system with a rotary slide valve according to FIGS. 1-3.
- a hydraulic pump of the vane cell type is designated by 21. It supplies the rotary slide valve 1 with hydraulic fluid via a pressure line 22 and a flow control valve 23. In the illustrated central position of the rotary slide valve 1, two hydraulic working spaces A and B of a hydraulic motor 24 are each subjected to the same pressure, so that no servo assistance is generated. If the rotary slide valve 1 is deflected from the middle position shown, either the working space A is subjected to higher pressure, which leads to a movement of the hydraulic piston to the right, or the working space B is pressurized, so that the hydraulic piston moves to the left becomes. This is the usual function of a hydraulic power steering system with a rotary valve with an open center.
- the proportional valves 25 and 26 are controlled by a controller 28 which evaluates various vehicle data, such as the speed, the steering angle and the yaw rate of the vehicle.
- FIG. 5 shows a hydraulic circuit similar to that of FIG. 4.
- the same components have the same reference numbers.
- the flow control valve 23 has been omitted and is replaced by a further electrically controlled proportional valve 29.
- This proportional valve 29 in the return causes a hydrodynamically constructed pressure which is controllable in terms of height on the pressure side of the rotary slide valve 1, which is then also applied to the proportional valves 25 and 26 and which in particular can also be regulated.
- a throttle bore 30 can provide an unregulated pressure build-up.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a hydraulic circuit diagram for a rotary slide valve with a closed center.
- a pressure-controlled hydraulic pump 31 is provided here, which generates a constant pressure in the line 22.
- the rotary slide valve 1 When opened in one or the other direction, the rotary slide valve 1 will raise the pressure in one of the two working spaces A or B and actuate the servomotor 24 accordingly.
- the rows of balls 13, 13 'and 14, 14' are acted upon by the hydraulic pressure via pressure reducing valves 32, 33.
- the pressure reducing valves 32, 33 are in turn controlled by a controller 28 as a function of the signals for the speed, the steering angle and the yaw rate.
- FIG. 7 shows a hydraulic circuit diagram for a rotary slide valve with an open center corresponding to FIGS.
- the pressure reducing valves 32, 33 are in turn controlled by a controller 28 as a function of the signals for the speed, the steering angle and the yaw rate. This combination is particularly advantageous in relation to the control quality that can be achieved.
- the pressure reducing valves can limit the maximum pressure acting on the reaction bodies and thus limit the torque acting on the steering. In the event of a fault, this maximum torque can be preset so low that it can be overcome at any time by the driver's hand.
- a volume flow or an operating pressure with a hydraulic fluid is provided in line 22 via the respective hydraulic pump (21, 31). If a torque is now introduced into the toothing of the rotary valve 2 via a steering wheel, then this is rotated relative to the pinion 4 against the spring force of the rotary rod 3. The rotary slide valve then generates an overpressure in one of the work spaces A or B, so that a steering movement is initiated via the servomotor 24.
- Additional torque can then be introduced into the rotary slide valve by applying pressure to the reaction bodies 13, 13 'or 14, 14'.
- the electrically controllable valves 25, 32 or 26, 33 are then activated.
- the additionally generated torque can increase or decrease the manual torque to be applied on the steering wheel, depending on which group of reaction bodies is pressurized.
- group of reaction bodies There are two different types: A. Both groups of reaction bodies 13, 13 'and 14, 14' are pressurized simultaneously.
- reaction bodies 13, 13 'or 14, 14' Only one group of reaction bodies 13, 13 'or 14, 14' is pressurized.
- Such an intervention in the steering while driving as a function of the control 28 can be used, for example, for cross wind compensation or for an electronic stability program.
- control valves can be the rotary slide valves described, but also flat slide valves or star valves. Furthermore, the invention can be applied to both rack and pinion steering systems.
- the reaction bodies can be of a different geometric shape, e.g. barrel-shaped or cylindrical. They can also be pressurized with hydraulic pressure in the axial direction and pushed into corresponding V-grooves that are open in the axial direction.
